Prior to publishing analysis and interpretation of water quality data, we will ensure that all data that meets QA/QC standards outlined in the current project Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and is accessible in the appropriate repository.
Water quality data from this project is ultimately destined for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Quality Exchange (EPA WQX). The process of transferring these data to the higher-level EPA repository is referred to as data “uplift.”
The Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for this project describes data management details and responsible parties for each step of the data pipeline from observation to repository. The 2021 data preparation and review process is published here as an appendix as an example of the process applied annually to each year’s data.
A.1.1 2021 Water Quality Data
In this appendix we will collate 2021 laboratory data from several sources into a single spreadsheet document with a consistent format. The desired end format is a spreadsheet template provided by the EPA Water Quality Exchange. These template files are available to download from the EPA at https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/water-quality-exchange-web-template-files.
Once the data is collated, it will be evaluated according to a Quality Assurance Checklist (template example provided by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Soldotna office). Field observations that do not meet the quality assurance standards described in the evaluation checklist will be flagged and will not be uplifted to the EPA WQX.
Data that has been uplifted to the EPA WQX is evaluated biannually by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) in their Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report1. The integrated report evaluates available water quality data from the previous five years against Alaska water quality standards and regulations (ADEC 2020).
A.1.1.1 2021 Water Quality Data AQWMS Formatting
The code scripts below assemble water quality data from the three analytical laboratories that partnered with Kenai Watershed Forum for this project in 2021:
A.1.2 2021 Provisional Results, Prior to Data Review
Results last updated 2023-05-08
The above data sources have been collated in to a single .csv file (available for download) into a format compatible with the EPA Water Quality Exchange. These data have not yet been evaluated against QA/QC standards following guidance in the current project Quality Assurance Project Plan.
Prior to uplift to the EPA WQX, all water quality data must be checked against a series of standard questions in order to evaluate how quality assurance / quality check (QA/QC) requirements are met. The draft Data Evaluation Checklist Template (available for download below) outlines these questions:
To see a table comparing planned vs actual results for 2021, view the excel file linked above.
From the above table we can see that there are deviations between planned and actual results available. These reasons for the deviations are known and are attributable to two causes:
Cause 1: The Spring 2021 Chain of Custody (COC) from KWF to SGS was completed erroneously. The COC specified for 200.8 analyses to be complete for all sites (when they should have stopped upstream of Morgan’s Landing RM31), and it also specified for 200.7 analyses to stop upstream of Morgan’s Landing (when they should have been performed for all sites in the project).
As a result, for Spring 2021 total metals data will be unavailable for sites upstream of the Morgan’s Landing RM31 site.
Cause 2: For Summer 2021, the SGS performed the 200.8 analyses for all 27 analytes available for the method; instead of just the smaller subset of analytes as requested. (E.g., KWF received extra data for free. In this case., there are no consequences of deviating from the planned analyses).
4.) Do the laboratory reports provide results for all sites and parameters?
The laboratory reports provide results for all sites, and for all parameters, with the exceptions outlined above in question #3.
5.) Is a copy of the Chain of Custody included with the laboratory reports?
We worked with three separate laboratories in 2021:
SGS Laboratories, Anchorage, AK
Chain of Custody documents are included within the PDF laboratory reports linked above earlier in this appendix.
Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant, Soldotna, AK
Chain of Custody documents are on file with Kenai Watershed Forum for fecal coliform and total suspended solids for 5/11/2021, and for total suspended solids on 7/27/2021.
Tauriainen Engineering & Testing, Soldotna, AK
An individual document for each sample reports the time and date of delivery and analysis for each sample. These documents are included with the PDF laboratory reports linked above earlier in this appendix.
6.) Do the laboratory reports match the Chain of Custody and requested methods throughout?
The laboratory reports match the Chain of Custody and requested methods, with the one exception discussed in question #3. For summer 2021, the SGS performed the 200.8 analyses for all 27 analytes available for the method; instead of just the smaller subset of analytes as requested. (E.g., KWF received extra data for free. In this case., there are no consequences of deviating from the planned analyses).
7.) Are the number of samples on the laboratory reports the same as on the Chain of Custody?
The quantity of sample bottles sent to the laboratories matches the number of analyzed samples for samples collected and delivered on 5/11/2021 and 7/27/2021.
8.) Was all supporting info provided in the laboratory report, such as reporting limits for all analyses and definitions?
We worked with three separate laboratories in 2021:
SGS Laboratories, Anchorage, AK
SGS provided data as PDFs which included reporting limits, as well as in the form of an Electronic Data Deliverable where this information is also included in column format.
Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP), Soldotna, AK
SWWTP provided data in the form of .xls files. Reporting limits are described in this project’s current Quality Assurance Action Plan.
Tauriainen Engineering & Testing, Soldotna, AK
Tauriainen provided data in the form of PDF documents. Reporting limits are described in this project’s current Quality Assurance Action Plan.
9.) Are site names, dates, and times correct and as expected?

The SOP does not describe the the kind of QA we need for baseline, as described in our QAPP####### The QAPP specifies the need for the following QA measurements for TSS: lab blank, lab duplicate sample, external QC check sample. These QA results were not reported in 2021 and 2022, likely not produced either. Check previous years####### The SWWTP SOP for TSS specifies the following for QA practices: "Every year the Soldotna WWTP must participate in the DMR QA as part of our NPDES permit. Part of the DMR QA test set is the TSS PE sample. This test must be performed and we must pass the sample to be able to report data for the year."

These reasons for the deviations are known and are attributable to two causes:*Cause 1:* The Spring 2021 Chain of Custody (COC) from KWF to SGS was completed erroneously. The COC specified for 200.8 analyses to be complete for all sites (when they should have stopped upstream of Morgan's Landing RM31), and it also specified for 200.7 analyses to stop upstream of Morgan's Landing (when they should have been performed for all sites in the project).As a result, for Spring 2021 total metals data will be unavailable for sites upstream of the Morgan's Landing RM31 site.*Cause 2:* For Summer 2021, the SGS performed the 200.8 analyses for all 27 analytes available for the method; instead of just the smaller subset of analytes as requested. (E.g., KWF received extra data for free. In this case., there are no consequences of deviating from the planned analyses).<br>**4.) Do the laboratory reports provide results for all sites and parameters?**The laboratory reports provide results for all sites, and for all parameters, with the exceptions outlined above in question #3.<br>**5.) Is a copy of the Chain of Custody included with the laboratory reports?**We worked with three separate laboratories in 2021:- SGS Laboratories, Anchorage, AK - Chain of Custody documents are included within the PDF laboratory reports linked above earlier in this appendix.- Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant, Soldotna, AK - Chain of Custody documents are on file with Kenai Watershed Forum for fecal coliform and total suspended solids for 5/11/2021, and for total suspended solids on 7/27/2021.- Tauriainen Engineering & Testing, Soldotna, AK - An individual document for each sample reports the time and date of delivery and analysis for each sample. These documents are included with the PDF laboratory reports linked above earlier in this appendix.<br>**6.) Do the laboratory reports match the Chain of Custody and requested methods throughout?**The laboratory reports match the Chain of Custody and requested methods, with the one exception discussed in question #3. For summer 2021, the SGS performed the 200.8 analyses for all 27 analytes available for the method; instead of just the smaller subset of analytes as requested. (E.g., KWF received extra data for free. In this case., there are no consequences of deviating from the planned analyses).<br>**7.) Are the number of samples on the laboratory reports the same as on the Chain of Custody?**The quantity of sample bottles sent to the laboratories matches the number of analyzed samples for samples collected and delivered on 5/11/2021 and 7/27/2021.<br>**8.) Was all supporting info provided in the laboratory report, such as reporting limits for all analyses and definitions?**We worked with three separate laboratories in 2021:- SGS Laboratories, Anchorage, AK - SGS provided data as PDFs which included reporting limits, as well as in the form of an Electronic Data Deliverable where this information is also included in column format.- Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP), Soldotna, AK - SWWTP provided data in the form of .xls files. Reporting limits are described in this project's current Quality Assurance Action Plan.- Tauriainen Engineering & Testing, Soldotna, AK - Tauriainen provided data in the form of PDF documents.

[**Are site names, dates, and times correct and as expected?**]{.underline} *Yes, after post-season correction documented in this report.* Notes: In 2021 Kenai Watershed Forum used pre-printed labels on all sample bottles, reducing opportunity for field and lab transcription errors. Remaining site name transcription errors from laboratories were corrected in post-season data review.<br>4. [**Is the dataset complete and did you receive the expected number of results?**]{.underline} *No*. Notes: we acquired a number of results in 2021 that was different than called for in the QAPP. All sites described in the QAPP were visited twice in 2021, and all water sample collections were successfully conducted. However, there were deviations between planned and actual results available.These deviations from the QAPP are attributable to the following causes:1. Intrinsic water quality parameters described in the current QAPP were not collected in spring and summer 20212. The Spring 2021 Chain of Custody (COC) from KWF to SGS was completed erroneously. The COC specified for 200.8 analyses (dissolved metals) to be complete for all sites (when they should have stopped upstream of Morgan's Landing RM31), and it also specified for 200.7 (total metals) analyses to stop upstream of Morgan's Landing (when they should have been performed for all sites and sampling events in the project).3. For Summer 2021, the SGS laboratory reported the 200.8 analyses (dissolved metals) for all 27 analytes available for the method; instead of just the smaller subset of analytes outlined in the QAPP. (E.g., KWF received extra data for free.)The values in the downloadable table below are current as of `r Sys.Date()`. The numerator values of "Samples Submitted to EPA" and "Usable Samples" are not yet finalized and will depend on outcomes of this pre-database review process.``` - Completeness Measure A = (Results Collected) / (Results Submitted to EPA) \*100% - Project goal: ***85%*** - Calculated project completeness Measure A: Varies by parameter, see downloadable file below.- Completeness Measure B = (Planned Number of Results) / (Useable Number of Results) \* 100% - Project goal: ***60%*** - Calculated project completeness Measure B: Varies by parameter, see downloadable file below. ```*Once data has been submitted to the QA/QC processes outlined below, the completeness values will be reported*```{r echo = F}# save summary table of actual vs planned analyses# modify column names and add dummy columns for downloadable tablez <- planned_actual_analyses_2021 %>%rename(`Planned Number of Results`= expected_results_n,`Results Collected`= actual_results_n,`Difference %`= pct_diff) %>%select(result_analytical_method_id,activity_start_date,activity_type,`Results Collected`,`Planned Number of Results`,`Difference %`)write.csv(z, "other/output/field_qa_qc_data/planned_actual_analyses_2021.csv", row.names = F)# embed for downloadxfun::embed_file("other/output/field_qa_qc_data/planned_actual_analyses_2021.csv", text ="Download Summary Table of Planned vs. Actual Lab Analysis Results for 2021")# plan: execute all qa/qc in prior big chunk as planned so that values reflect qa/qc exclusion processes# once all qa processes are executed, report an measures A and B above```<br>5.

The missing sample is for the 200.7 (total metals) analyses on 2021-05-11 at RM 31 (Morgan's Landing). This error occurred due to a transcription error on the chain of custody form, and the lab did not process a total metals analysis for this site/event in Spring 2021.###### 2021 Field QA/QC Sample Collection Summary- Field duplicates: - \# required: ***`r planned_field_dups_2021`*** - \# collected ***`r actual_field_dups_2021`***- Trip blanks: - \# required: ***`r planned_trip_blanks_2021`*** - \# collected: ***`r actual_trip_blanks_2021`***- Other: - \# required: NA - \# collected: NA<br>6.

From ADEC 2022, *"Estimated values (detected at levels lower than the practical quantitation limit (PQL)) were treated as non-detects for the purpose of this analysis. A set of paired samples was evaluated for RPD only if:* - *one or both of the samples were above the PQL;* - *one or both of the samples were at least two times the PQL."*```{r rpd-vals, echo = F, messages = F, warnings = F}# embed for downloadxfun::embed_file("other/output/field_qa_qc_data/rpd_calcs_2021.xlsx", text ="Download Summary Table of Relative percent Difference (RPD) Values between Project Samples and Field Duplicate Samples for 2021")```The above table indicates that **two** RPD values were outside of acceptable QA/QC ranges (\>20% RPD). An inquiry has been emailed to ADEC on `r Sys.Date()` on how best to apply this criteria, and how it will affect the extent of the finalized dataset.##### In-situ Field Data and Instruments7. Were there any issues with instrument calibration? ***No***. Did the instrument perform as expected? ***Yes***. Notes: ***The sole in-situ field measurement type recorded in 2021 was for water temperature.***8. Was instrument calibration performed according to the QAPP and instrument recommendations? ***Yes***. Were calibration logs or records kept? ***Yes***. Notes: ***Instrument calibration records are available upon request at [hydrology\@kenaiwatershed.org](mailto:hydrology@kenaiwatershed.org){.email}***.9. Was instrument verification during the field season performed according to the QAPP and instrument recommendations? ***NA*** . Were verification logs or records kept? ***No logger instruments were deployed, thus no verification checks were performed.***.10. Do the instrument data files site IDs, time stamps and file names match? ***No logger instruments were deployed, thus no instrument data files were generated.***.11. Is any field data rejected and why? ***Yes. As of this raw data review last updated on `r Sys.Date()`, the RPD value for Total Phosphorus on 5/11/2021 from the site "KR RM 31" is 77.03%, well above the project precision goal for this parameter of 20%. Additionally, the RPD value for fecal coliform on 5/11/2021 at the site "KR RM 0 NNC" is 51.4%, however this parameter doe snot have overall project accuracy or precision goals according to the current QAPP.***.##### Analytical Laboratory Reports and Results12. Do the laboratory reports provide results for all sites and parameters? ***Yes. The laboratory reports provide results for all sites and parameters specified in the Chains of Custody. However in one case, a transcription error on the chain of custody form for SGS labs in Spring 2021 resulted in missing result values for the method 200.7 analyses (Total Metals) from 2021-05-11 at RM 31 (Morgan's Landing)***.13. Were the appropriate analytical methods used for all parameters? ***Yes***.14. Do the laboratory reports match the COC and requested methods? ***Yes***. Are same methods used throughout? ***Yes***.15. Are the number of samples on the laboratory reports the same as on the COC? ***Yes***.16. Is a copy of the COC included with the laboratory reports? ***Yes***.17. Were preservation, hold time and temperature requirements met? ***Yes. Summer and Spring 2021 holding time requirements were met for all samples. See downloadable files below. Laboratory result documents indicated no compromises of preservation and temperature requirements.***```{r hold-times, echo = F, messages = F, warnings = F}# embed for downloadxfun::embed_file("other/input/AQWMS/sample_holding_times.csv", text ="Download Table of Maximum Holding Times for Each Sample Type")``````{r hold-times-1, echo = F, messages = F, warnings = F}# embed for downloadxfun::embed_file("other/output/field_qa_qc_data/holding_time_calcs.csv", text ="Download Holding Time Calculations for Spring and Summer 2021 Field Samples")```18. Are there any project specific concerns (e.g. total v. dissolved, MST, etc)? ***Yes. Communication with the ADEC office in Winter 2022 includes the recommendation to modify field practices with relation to dissolved metals sampling. These practices include a.) filtering samples in lab rather than in the field, and b.) incorporating a field blank for dissolved metals. These practices are integrated into the project as of summer 2022 and will be reflected in the QAPP, currently in the process of being updated***.19. Was all supporting info provided in the laboratory report, such as reporting limits for all analyses and definitions? ***Yes, see raw results in previous section***.20. Were there any laboratory discrepancies, errors, data qualifiers, or QC failures (review laboratory duplicates, matrix spikes and blanks)? ***Yes. These laboratory-identified discrepancies are outlined in detail below. As of `r Sys.Date()` we would like to consult with ADEC to determine if these laboratory-identified discrepancies are grounds for rejecting field observations***.<details><summary>*Show/Hide Code used to Evaluate Lab Duplicates, Matrix Spikes, and Blanks*</summary>```{r}# calculate qa/qc discrepancies as detailed in PDF reports check qapp for guidance, or check w/ qa officer...matrix_spike_limits <-read.csv("other/output/lab_qaqc_data/2021_lab_qaqc_data/sgs21_als21_qaqc_dat.csv") %>%select(lab_name,sample,collect_date,extracted_date,sample_type,result,analyte,dissolved,analytical_method, resultflag,percent_recovered,rec_limit_low,rec_limit_high,sample_rpd,rpd_limit_low,rpd_limit_high, loq,lod,detection_limit,sample_condition) %>%# Matrix Spike Recovery# calculate if matrix spike recovery limits pass requirementsmutate(rec_limit_pass =case_when(is.na(rec_limit_low) ~"", percent_recovered > rec_limit_high | percent_recovered < rec_limit_low ~"N",TRUE~"Y" ))# calculate total number of matrix spike cases where recovery exceeded limitsmatrix_spike_recovery_fails <- matrix_spike_limits %>%filter(rec_limit_pass =="N") %>%nrow() %>%as.numeric()# generate table of specific failed samplesmatrix_spike_recovery_fails_tbl <- matrix_spike_limits %>%filter(rec_limit_pass =="N") write.csv(matrix_spike_recovery_fails_tbl,"other/output/lab_qaqc_data/matrix_spike_recovery_fails.csv")```</details>The following discrepancies were identified in the results from SGS laboratories:###### Matrix Spike RecoveriesA total of `r matrix_spike_recovery_fails` matrix spike or matrix spike duplicate samples are outside of QC criteria. The limit of recovery range for the analyte "Total Nitrate/Nitrite-N" is 90% - 110%. For these matrix spike measurements outside of the QC criteria, recovery levels range from 112% - 118%.```{r matrix-spikes, echo = F, messages = F, warnings = F}# embed for downloadxfun::embed_file("other/output/lab_qaqc_data/matrix_spike_recovery_fails.csv", text ="Download Matrix Spike Recovery Values Exceeding Threshold for Spring and Summer 2021 Field Samples")```No additional lab QA/QC anomalies for any other parameters were noted by any laboratories contracted in 2021, including lab duplicates and lab blanks. Additional details are available upon request at [hydrology\@kenaiwatershed.org](mailto:hydrology@kenaiwatershed.org){.email}.###### Total vs Dissolved MetalsWe will verify that the quantity of total metals is less than that of dissolved metals... \[in progress\]```{r, echo = F}z <- dat %>%filter(`Result Analytical Method ID`==c("200.7","200.8")) %>%filter(!is.na(`Result Value`)) %>%group_by(`Monitoring Location ID`,`Activity Start Date`,`Result Unit`,`Result Analytical Method ID`) %>%summarise(method_sum =sum(`Result Value`)) %>%mutate(method_sum_ug =case_when(`Result Unit`=="mg/L"~ method_sum/1000,TRUE~ method_sum )) %>%ungroup() %>%select(-`Result Unit`,-method_sum) %>%pivot_wider(names_from =`Result Analytical Method ID`,values_from = method_sum_ug)# note mg vs ug```21. Is any laboratory data rejected and why? ***Yes, see question 6 on Relative Percent Difference values***.22.
